How to Tell If You Need a Sewer Scope

The plumbing and sewer system of your business is crucial to the health and safety of employees and customers. With so many people using your facilities, you must stay on top of plumbing and sewer maintenance. So, when these unexplained issues continue to creep up, it’s time to call Inspect360 for a sewer scope inspection.

Strange Odors

If you're noticing an unusual smell coming from your drains, it might be time for a sewer scope. Septic system problems and sewage backup can cause a bad smell, and if it's left untreated, the smell can get worse. Eventually, this stench leaks out of the bathroom and into the rest of your business building, making it unbearable for everyone.

Gurgling in the Sinks or Toilets

If you're hearing gurgling noises in your sinks or toilets, it could be a sign of a bigger plumbing problem. Gurgling is often caused by air bubbles getting stuck in the drainage system. When these bubbles rise to the surface, they create that gurgling sound. This can be a sign that something is blocking the pipes, like hair or grease. It can also be a sign of a bigger problem, like a broken sewer line. The only way to know for sure is with a sewer scope.

Pesky Mold & Mildew

Mold and mildew can be serious problems in any business. Not only are they unsightly, but they can also be dangerous to your employees and customers. If you're noticing mold or mildew in your business, it's important to take action right away. Buildup occurs most often in damp environments, so fixing the source of the moisture is critical. Your problem could also be a result of plumbing or sewer issues, so an inspection is crucial in this case.
